Monster truck rally set for Friday, Saturday

Six beastly trucks will come crashing into Amarillo for two days of competition and exhibitions with the Kicker Monster Trucks Nationals.

The event begins at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday in the Amarillo National Center on the Tri-State Fairgrounds, 3301 S.E. 10th Ave. A pre-party, allowing patrons to see the trucks up close on the track, begins at 6 p.m. nightly.

“And if locals have a Tuff Truck and want to be involved, they can show up at the fairgrounds at 4 (p.m.) on Friday or Saturday,” Hammock said. “We’ll set up a course that’s got some light jumps, and they can run around it in a timed (race).”
